geography

location

The Dortmund district of Lütgendortmund is almost halfway between the cities of Bochum and Dortmund . From both inner cities it is about 8.5 km as the crow flies to the Dortmund district of Lütgendortmund. The distance to the cities of Castrop-Rauxel and Witten is only 6 km.

Green spaces

The Volksgarten Lütgendortmund is approximately ten hectares of the largest green area of the district. It was created in 1907 at the request of the local administration, which acquired the property consisting of forest, arable land and meadows in order to make it a local recreation area . The costs of around 113,400 marks for the creation of the local recreation area were borne by the municipality of Lütgendortmund, Harpener Bergbau AG , the district of Dortmund and by individuals.

The nature reserve Dellwiger Wald in the east of the city district extends around the Dellwig house .

In the western part lies the small forest area Rauhes Holz, which borders on Bövinghausen . This forest area extends in the direction of Bochum's urban area. The border between Dortmund and Bochum is characterized by agricultural areas.

In 2006 the Park of the Generations was inaugurated, which is intended to give both young and older people the opportunity to spend their free time actively.

Waters

Several streams flow through the urban area of ​​Lütgendortmund. In the north is the Dellwiger Bach , which rises from the old dump of the Zollern colliery . It runs north of the Dellwig house and joins the Schmechtingsbach at Marten to form the Roßbach , which flows into the Emscher in Huckarde . The Dellwiger Bach has two tributaries, the Deipenbeck, whose source can be found in the southeast of Lütgendortmund, and the Katzbach, which rises in the Volksgarten. All streams flow north and east to the Emscher, which runs east from Lütgendortmund. Numerous streams and springs fell victim to mining . This also includes the source of the former Marienborn monastery , which existed on Westermannstrasse until 1929.

history

Settlement and First Wars (approx. 1150–1757)

The first settlement was probably due to the good soil quality, the abundance of water and the location on the Hellweg trade route .

The first mention of the city was still under a different name, in 1150 in lifting register the Abbey Essen-Werden .

In a "treasure book" of the county of Mark , which was created in 1486 for tax collection, 34 taxable farms are registered for Lütgendortmund. The place housed a monastery with a court seat. There were two noble houses in the area: Dellwig Castle and Holte House .

During the great Dortmund feud between the Count von der Mark and the city of Dortmund , the place was attacked by the Dortmunders on a Sunday in 1388. They burned down the two churches and surrounding houses, took two prisoners and stole cattle for over 100 guilders.

Also in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) the place was hit hard when Dutch and Spanish troops moved in. The Spaniards tried to reintroduce the Catholic faith after all of Lütgendortmund had converted to the Protestant faith. They burned down many parts of the village, including the farms of the Dellwig, Portmann, Schulte, Heynemann and de Vedder farmers.

In 1757 French troops moved into Lütgendortmund.

Urban expansion / settlement development (1830-1910)

The population of Lütgendortmund remained relatively constant for many years. Only when the Zollern I colliery went into operation in 1858 was there an above-average increase in population. Land was needed as building area, but it was owned by the farmers. But by a royal Prussian regulation in the middle of the 18th century it was divided among the residents of the place. The enormous population growth during industrialization to around 15,000 inhabitants gave the place more and more of an urban character.

Thanks to the division, each resident had land available and was free to use it: either cultivate it himself, sell it or rent it. The first larger housing estates emerged on the larger arterial roads , such as on Lütgendortmunder Hellweg, on Limbecker Strasse and on Werner Strasse. A wide variety of building types still exist here today. Later, mainly colliery settlements followed due to the large number of mines in the local area. In 1874, 23 two-story semi-detached houses were built for mining families on Neu-Crengeldanz-Strasse. The houses not only offered living space, but also stables and garden land, so that the families could partly provide for themselves. The next colony was built in 1889 on Langen Strasse (today Auf dem Toren). There were 30 houses for four families each. Every house had some acreage.

The third and last settlement before 1900 was built by the Neu-Iserlohn colliery company on Wilhelmshöhe. Large, three-story blocks of houses were built, which have recently been replaced by more modern houses. After 1900 the construction activity was continued by Harpener Bergbau AG . In 1903, settlements were built on Deipenbeckstrasse and Helgastrasse near Provinzialstrasse and in 1915 thirteen two-and-a-half-story houses were built on Neu-Iserlohn-Strasse. Of the numerous buildings built before 1900, only the settlement on Neu-Iserlohn-Strasse still exists today; the rest have been replaced by new buildings.

On April 1, 1907, the previously independent community of Dellwig-Holte was incorporated.

First World War (1914–1918) and the post-war period

Due to the lack of change at the beginning of the First World War , the Lütgendortmund office issued war bill of exchange as emergency money . In addition, in Lütgendortmund, as in the entire region, the church bells were removed so that the melted material could be used for war purposes. In 1918 a workers 'and soldiers' council for Lütgendortmund was formed.

On April 1, 1928, Lütgendortmund was incorporated into the city of Dortmund. The Lütgendortmund office, which had its seat there, was dissolved. Lütgendortmund was connected to the Dortmund gas network.

After the National Socialists seized power in 1933, Jewish shops were boycotted in Lütgendortmund , as was the case in the entire German Reich . A few years later, around 1936, shops belonging to Jewish merchants were “ Aryanized ” or closed.

Second World War (1939–1945)

St. Bartholomew Church

During the Second World War the place suffered several attacks. On July 3 and 4, 1941, the town center was significantly destroyed by several air raids . When Lütgendortmunds was taken by soldiers of the US Army from April 8th to 10th, 1945, other parts of the village, u. a. also the St. Bartholomew Church, damaged by artillery fire (see: Ruhrkessel ).

1945 – today

In 1966 Lütgendortmunder retailers founded the AG Lütgendortmunder Gewerbe (today Aktiv im Ort, Lütgendortmunder trade, craft and trade ). 70 business people from the fields of trade, trade and craft are members. In 1969 the knight brewery moved into the newly built brewery on Lütgendortmunder Hellweg. In 1994 it merged with the Union Brewery to form the Dortmund Union-Ritter Brewery. In 1977, after the old one was demolished, the modern and much larger Protestant hospital was completed. In 1980 the Catholic St. Barbara Hospital was closed and the old people's home of the same name was housed in its building. In 1972 the old people's home of the DRK was built on Dellwiger Strasse at Volksgarten.

Name development

Residents and people passing through have apparently often compared Lütgendortmund with the city of Dortmund . As a result, Latin sources say 1150 Throtmannia minor and 1254 Parva Tremonia . In 1290 it was named Luttiken-Dortmunde in Low German . This is where today's name Lütgendortmund originated . Even if the form and spelling have changed, the name always means Klein-Dortmund .

coat of arms

Blazon: A silver (white) bell in blue. At the end of the 19th century, Lütgendortmund was to receive its own municipal coat of arms. The choice fell on the bell sign as a symbol of solidarity. It is unclear whether the symbol has its origin in the popular place name Lütgenbömmel ( Low German : Bömmel = bell) or is derived from the coat of arms of the Lütykendorpe family, who live in the neighborhood near Harpen . The family coat of arms of the Lütykendorpes from 1348 does not contain a bell, but a tournament hat that resembles a bell and could have led to confusion.

population

statistics

Structural data of the population of Lütgendortmund:

• Population share of the under 18-year-olds: 15.0% [Dortmund average: 16.2% (2018)]
• Population share of at least 65-year-olds: 20.8% [Dortmund average: 20.2% (2018)]

Social structure

Large areas of the district can be described as normal residential areas with a mixed social structure. There are many areas (including new development areas or residential areas with family and terraced houses ) in which well-off families also live. But there are also streets with increased social problems such as poverty and unemployment.

economy

Agriculture was already practiced in the region around Lütgendortmund in the Stone Age. Evidence suggesting this is provided by flint stones from the Neolithic Age that are around 5000 years old and that were excavated around the Dellwig house . Remnants of ore and slag were also discovered at the Harpener Bach , which indicate that Germanic ancestors already smelted ore here .

industrialization

Before industrialization, large parts of the economy were dominated by agriculture. In and around Lütgendortmund there was abundance of water, and there was nutrient-rich loess soil , which made farming the fields attractive for farmers. Later during industrialization, agriculture's share of the total economy decreased. Industrialization created many jobs in the Lütgendortmund district, even a surplus of work, so that immigrants increased the population. Although the place had no separate bill, but it was several mines (z. B. the Zollern , the mine Germania , the Zeche Neu-Iserlohn , the bill Amalia and the Erin mine ) edged who were many workers. A well-known company was Tönshoff, which manufactured machine tools such as multi-spindle automatic lathes.

today

The current economic image of the place has changed significantly. There is only one farm left and nothing can be seen of the beer brewing tradition in Lütgendortmund.

The Brinkhoffs brewery (formerly the Ritter Brewery ), which was located on Hellweg , merged with the Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei (DAB) in the summer of 2006 and gave up the location in Lütgendortmund.

Many residents worked in the two Opel plants in Bochum, which border on Lütgendortmund to the south . These were closed at the end of 2014.

Places and facilities

Amtshaus am Markt, in the background the Catholic Church of St. Maria Magdalena

Lütgendortmund is the seat of the district administration and the police station , which is responsible for Kley, Lütgendortmund, Marten, Oespel and Somborn. The center of the village is the market square on Heinrich-Sondermann-Platz and Limbecker Straße (before the incorporation: Wilhelmstraße), which has always been a commercial center. The office building is also located on the market square. Next to it is the Marienborn Beguinage monastery , built around 1296 , to which a monastery church belonged until 1895 , in which Catholic services were held. For several decades the monastery has been used as a youth leisure center and kindergarten . There are numerous large and small shops in the town center. The place has three churches, two of them in the center, the Catholic parish church of St. Maria Magdalena and the Protestant St. Bartholomew's Church . A little outside is the 2nd Protestant parish, which is located in the Martin Luther King House. In 2007 the congregation merged with the Protestant congregation in Bövinghausen to form the Christ congregation in Dortmund. Nearby is the St. Barbara Hospital, which opened in 1897 and is now a home for the elderly, and the Lütgendortmund Knappschaftskrankenhaus (until 2014 Evangelical Hospital) on Volksgartenstrasse . Right next to it is the indoor swimming pool, which opened in 1966, and opposite the "Senior Center Am Volksgarten", built in 2001.

Marienborn Monastery

Main article: Marienborn Abbey (Lütgendortmund)

Marienborn Monastery

The monastery was built around 1300 during the Beguin movement . Beguins lived here under a freely chosen headmistress who had no monastic vows. The monastery was demolished at the beginning of the 18th century because of dilapidation. Only a foundation wall of the old building is still there. A new monastery was built on this in 1725. Next to it stood a small monastery church in which the Catholic community held services until the parish church was built in 1892.

During the French rule in 1809 the monastery was dissolved. It was later used as a school. Today it is the seat of the district youth heims , the nursery school and the public library . Two street names, Beguinenstrasse and Marienbornstrasse, remind of the monastery, whose existence is only known to a few.

Educational institutions

Lütgendortmund has numerous educational institutions, from kindergartens to primary schools to secondary schools.

There are kindergartens on the market square in the former Beguinage of Marienborn and on Holtestrasse. Lütgendortmund has three primary schools, the Mörike primary school, the Holte primary school and the Marienborn primary school. A secondary school in the form of a comprehensive school ( Heinrich-Böll -Gesamtschule) is located on Volksgartenstrasse; there is also a branch of the Dortmund City and State Library . There is also the Dellwig School as a special needs school .

Development of the school system

Due to the strong population growth and the high number of children in the families, the school system also had to be completely changed. The monastery school was soon unable to accommodate the students, so that many new schools were built in just a few years. In 1874 the Wilhelmschule was built on the Flaspoete, in 1882 the Luisenschule, and in 1893 the Lutherschule on Wernerstraße. Around 1900 the Bismarck School was added.

traffic

Public transportation

S-Bahn station at Heinrich-Sondermann-Platz.

DO-Lütgendortmund Nord stop

The connection of the district to other suburbs and the Dortmund city center is good. The Emschertal Railway has existed since 1878 . Today the regional train line RB 43, known as the "Emschertal-Bahn", runs between Dortmund and Dorsten , serving the cities of Castrop-Rauxel , Herne and Gladbeck and every hour (every two hours on weekends) in each direction at the Lütgendortmund stop North stops.

There was also a line operated by the Rheinische Eisenbahngesellschaft , which was built in 1866 and ran from Osterath to Dortmund Südbahnhof . The station on this route, built in 1910 (southwest of today's S-Bahn station Dortmund-Germania, on the opposite side of the Lütgendortmunder Hellweg), which bordered the communities of Kley , Marten , Oespel and Lütgendortmund, was converted into the Line demolished in 1981. The station and the surrounding area were popularly known as the station or Lütgendortmund station . Two tram lines ran here and connected Lütgendortmund to Dortmund via Marten and Dorstfeld .

Since the 1990s, the infrastructure, especially the connection by public transport, has improved again. The residents can reach places outside the district, connection points and downtown Dortmund without major problems or waiting times. The Lütgendortmund district has four train stations. You are on the aforementioned Emschertalbahn (stop Dortmund-Lütgendortmund Nord) and the S-Bahn line 4 of the S-Bahn Rhein-Ruhr (stops Dortmund Germania, Dortmund-Somborn and Dortmund-Lütgendortmund train station , which was opened in 1993 as a terminus under the Lütgendortmunder market was inaugurated). S-Bahn line 4 was originally intended to replace today's Emschertalbahn via Marten and Huckarde. The plan was to continue the tunnel from Lütgendortmund to the Dortmund- Bövinghausen train station , from there to use the route in the direction of Castrop-Rauxel and thereby replace the Emschertal Railway. In the center of the village is the bus station, which was built in the 1990s and is served by numerous bus routes and offers direct connections to other Dortmund districts as well as to Bochum, Castrop-Rauxel and Witten.

Connecting roads

Lütgendortmund is well connected to the city center and cities in the area. It is surrounded by numerous fast connection routes and the rest of the road network is well developed.

The Hellweg was replaced as a fast connecting road between Lütgendortmund and the city centers of Bochum and Dortmund by Bundesstraße 1 and the Rheinlanddamm .

Furthermore, the place has its own motorway junction of the federal motorway 40 , which leads past Lütgendortmund from east to west. Nearby cities such as Bochum and Castrop-Rauxel, as well as areas such as the Münster and Sauerland can be reached via the busy federal highway 235 . In addition, there are other connection points in the vicinity of the local area, such as the port feeder in Kirchlinde or the federal motorway 45 .

Three main roads lead through the town center or past the town center . The Martener Straße leads from Lütgendortmund to Marten, the Lütgendortmunder Hellweg in the direction of Oespel and the Lütgendortmunder Straße through the center also in the direction of Oespel.

Sports

For a long time, DJK Hellweg Lütgendortmund was the second force in Dortmund football alongside Borussia Dortmund. In the 70s and 80s the DJK played in the third highest division, the then Oberliga Westfalen. At the end of the 1986/87 season, the club had to file for bankruptcy.

In terms of successes, women's football currently dominates in Lütgendortmund. On June 7, 1975, a women's team played for the first time at SG Lütgendortmund (SGL). The women's football department was founded in 1977. In 1980 they made it to the district league and a year later they even made it through to the state league, which they belonged to until 1989. The descent was followed by a direct ascent. Two years later, he was promoted to the association league. After three years, however, you had to go down again. At the turn of the millennium, he returned to the association league. Two years later, after a 2-0 win over Westfalia Hagen, they made the leap into the regional league. In 2004, SGL was accepted into the newly founded 2nd Bundesliga, but was relegated in 2006.

religion

When, after the Reformation, many pastors converted to Lutheran doctrine in 1599 , the majority of the population also adopted the Protestant faith. Only a small minority, including the Dellwig family, retained the Catholic faith. The Bartholomäus Church became Evangelical Lutheran, the Marienkloster remained Catholic.

Regular events

Once a year, at the end of August, the Lütgendortmund Bartholomäuskirmes takes place, also popularly known as the “plum fair”. This traditional folk festival lasts four days and was celebrated for the 654th time in 2014. In addition, a village festival has been held once a year since 1985, although it is much smaller than the Bartholomäuskirmes.

For many years, the bike race for the Brinkhoff's Cup by the sponsor of the same name was a big draw. However, after the brewery closed, no new sponsor could be found, so that no more races took place after 2004.

Every Wednesday and Saturday there is a market on Heinrich-Sondermann-Platz. The small concert at market time takes place on the last Saturday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the nearby St. Bartholomew's Church.
